SMITTEN BOY, HOPELESS ROMANTIC

It started with a smile.
When those lips parted upright, I couldn’t help but to smile in return
I could never be serious, the conversations we'd have -
during the latest hours at night despite being delirious.
Your friends would speak wrong of me but you still believed in something only you could see
You were right, the heart in this chest was always hot
It simply took the right person to finally untie this complicated knot
And here I am, reflecting on all the memories from the very start,
the good and the bad - beating myself while we take this time apart.
Time to grow as an individual so that maybe one day we can hit restart,
but there’s a part of me that doesn’t want to miss another day without you
Don’t call it codependent, call it 7 years of building blocks,
I’m pulling out all stops and I’m going to give you all I got
The story must go on, just as it was written,
about the man who fell in love, boy was he smitten
over a hopeless romantic, my soul whispers; she's my truelove
Your hand in mine,
to have and to hold,
to cherish and to protect.
I am your guardian and for you, I would lay my life to rest.
I take responsibility for all my actions,
and I’m fully aware for every cause there is an effect
but in the end, I never meant any disrespect.
The truth is, I admire you
and when you opened yourself to me, I could feel the fire in you.
Despite what has transpired, I still plan to pursue this chase,
even if the outcome hurts, you will never be replaced
This message was written specifically for you,
from the most intimate parts of my humane form
they say no one can see your tears during the rainiest of storms
but this storm was formed because the heart is broke and now it pours.
You belong to me, and I to you,
possessively no - I speak expressively
with only pure intentions, you see.
I promise this time won’t be a repeat,
those hiccups were simply a necessary evil -
in order for me to see that you are my equal
Merita, I wish you the absolute best,
for the pursuit of happiness is an adventure of grand proportions
and I hope that one day you and I can rekindle the love that was forfeit
